...and so on in the same vein.

You say you want a technical discussion about overflow checking but when
someone writes a reasonable well-thought out technical post you reply
with nothing but sarcasm.  Even if you think what David wrote was
completely wrong and misguided you could calmly say why, if not for the
present discussion, at least for the benefit of others who might come
across this thread later.

I also made what I considered to be a technical reply but now I'm glad
you simply ignored it.  I was going to make another because I think the
question is an interesting one but I don't think there is any point.  Do
you?
